Chapter 155
The camp coach had been working here for twenty years—what scene hadn’t he seen?
But this one… he truly hadn’t seen before.
He had come expecting to film a romantic reality show, thinking it would just be a few male and female guests playfully interacting, cultivating feelings.
What he didn’t expect…
Everyone was going all out! He had never seen a game where people ended up completely covered in paint like this. It was like a world war!
Outwardly, the coach politely complimented their enthusiasm, but in reality, he kept casting suspicious glances at Director Niu.
Is this really a romance show?
Feeling belittled, Director Niu: “….”
Destruction, exhausting.
Lai Bingxuan glanced at the field.
Currently, six people were in play. Qiu Chengye, Xiao Jingxi, Yu Jinzhe, and Xu Shuangrong were completely covered in paint.
Liu Woxing had about fifty percent of his body covered, while Lai Bingxuan herself had only about thirty percent.
Now, only Xie Mi and Shen Yiqing hadn’t shown up.
As long as Xie Mi remained relatively clean, her team with Lai Bingxuan would win.
Thinking this, Lai Bingxuan instantly felt proud. “Looks like only Xie Mi and I get lunch; the rest of you can just eat plain buns.”
“Huh?”
Even Liu Woxing was a little surprised. “Aren’t Qiu Chengye and Actor Xiao in your team too?”
Lai Bingxuan: “? Isn’t it two per team?”
“No, it’s four per team.”
Liu Woxing kindly reminded her, “You, Teacher Xie, Xiao Jingxi, and Qiu Chengye are one team.”
Lai Bingxuan: “?”
The usually confident young lady’s face shifted to one of existential doubt. She stared at the paint-covered Qiu Chengye and Xiao Jingxi for several seconds, then angrily demanded,
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!”
Qiu Chengye and Xiao Jingxi: “??!!!”
They didn’t tell her?!
Their screams of agony were nearly as loud as pigs being slaughtered!!!
Xiao Jingxi, maintaining his actor dignity, didn’t say much, but Qiu Chengye couldn’t hold back and immediately wrestled with Lai Bingxuan.
The assistant director hurried over to mediate—and unsurprisingly got caught in the tussle as well.
Director Niu had gone numb and waved him back. No need to mediate.
So, the filming continued while Lai Bingxuan and Qiu Chengye wrestled nearby—each not hindering the other.
[Such graceful mental states.]
“Teacher Xie and Mr. Shen haven’t come out yet. I’ll summarize the current situation.”
Director Niu’s voice came from the megaphone. “Currently, each team has lost two players. Miss Lai and Teacher Liu are not fully covered in paint, so their remaining uncovered areas will be counted.”
“Next, we wait for Teacher Xie and Mr. Shen. The amount of paint on them will determine today’s winner.”
At this point, the paint-covered Yu Jinzhe spoke up. “I don’t think I’ve even encountered Mr. Shen this round. Did any of you?”
Liu Woxing and Xu Shuangrong shook their heads.
Opposite them, Xiao Jingxi said, “I was busy looking for teammates earlier, then I ran into Miss Lai…”
The rest was obvious.
As for Lai Bingxuan and Qiu Chengye… well, even less likely.
“So, that means…”
Xu Shuangrong smiled lightly. “It seems Mr. Shen hasn’t really joined the battlefield much, so he should be relatively clean.”
“That gives us a chance,” Yu Jinzhe said. “I remember hitting Teacher Xie a few times too.”
“Didn’t you think Mr. Xie Might run into Teacher Xie?” Liu Woxing asked softly.
“…………”
Xu Shuangrong and Yu Jinzhe suddenly went silent.
…A miscalculation.
“Mr. Shen isn’t guaranteed to lose.”
Xu Shuangrong spoke first, gently. “Though Teacher Xie is very strong, Mr. Shen is too. If he fights seriously, he might not lose.”
“But…”
Liu Woxing was about to suggest that Mr. Xie Might let Teacher Xie win.
Xu Shuangrong spoke firmly first. “Teacher Xie is competitive, but she also has game spirit. I don’t think she would rely on Mr. Shen being nice to her to demand he loses. Teacher Xie isn’t that kind of person.”
Liu Woxing opened her mouth, but didn’t say anything.
Xu Shuangrong’s words seemed to praise Teacher Xie—but somehow, they made her feel uncomfortable.
Before she could react, two people emerged from the camp.
These two were the key to the outcome!
Everyone, including Director Niu, immediately looked over, and the cameras focused on them, wanting to capture this decisive moment first.
However…
“Are you… Teacher Xie and Mr. Shen?” Director Niu asked cautiously.
At the camp exit stood two “Smurfs”—one tall, one short—completely covered in blue paint, only their eyes visible.
One pair of eyes clear and straightforward; the other, captivating and alluring.
“Yes.”
The shorter one nodded. “It’s us.”
Director Niu: “…”
He remembered the last time he saw Teacher Xie backstage, both were still clean. How did they get into this state in just a few minutes?!
They explained.
Shen Yiqing: “On the way out, Teacher Xie was bored and shooting, but her gun ran out of bullets.”
Xie Mi: “We passed a large vat of blue paint. I thought, why not fill a bit in?”
Shen Yiqing: “But someone had tampered with it.”
Xie Mi: “Some idiot poured oil around the vat! I slipped right in!”
Director Niu: “Then why did Mr. Shen also…”
Xie Mi: “Old Shen tried to pull me out.”
Shen Yiqing: “But Teacher Xie dragged me in too.”
Director Niu: “…”
Truly a pair of living legends!
Hearing this, Yu Jinzhe—the one who had poured oil—felt a flash of regret.
It was a pity he didn’t see his sister get caught by his move.
But his regret didn’t last long.
Xie Mi slid straight toward him and knocked him over. “I knew it was you who poured the oil!!!”
Sherlock Holmes Xie Mi.
Seeing the potential fight about to break out again, Director Niu quickly returned to the process.
“Since Teacher Xie and Mr. Shen are now fully covered in paint, they are considered eliminated. With three people eliminated from each team, Miss Lai has less paint coverage than Teacher Liu, so Miss Lai’s team wins!”
“Congratulations to Xie Mi, Lai Bingxuan, Xiao Jingxi, and Qiu Chengye! You’ve earned the hotel’s luxury lunch privilege!”
Xie Mi, who was just about to pin Yu Jinzhe down, suddenly cheered.
“Yay yay yay!”
Lai Bingxuan, after slapping Qiu Chengye and finishing the scuffle, hurried over.
“Yay!”
She linked arms with Xie Mi, and they started spinning around in circles joyfully.
Liu Woxing watched enviously.
Xu Shuangrong, observing Liu Woxing, suddenly had an idea.
